1952 Map of Ruby A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Nowitna River meanders through the southeastern corner of this Alaskan interior landscape, anchoring a complex drainage network that defines the region's topography. The area is characterized by the confluence of several significant watercourses, including the Lost River and Bonanza Creek, which carve through the elevations of the Ruby quadrangle. Survey control points like VABM 2132 Lost provide a glimpse into the mid-century mapping efforts conducted by the Geological Survey using 1952 aerial photography. Other drainages such as Straight Creek, Wood Creek, and Little Moose Creek indicate a land shaped entirely by its hydrology, where no roads or established trails existed at the time of the survey, highlighting the pristine and untouched character of the Fourth Judicial Division during this era.
